A new Lincoln Project video promoted by MSNBCs Brian Williams likens the far-left terrorist group Antifa to Americas military veterans who fought in WWII.
The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln
The work of fighting fascism has always been our nations greatest project in 1944 and today.

The propaganda piece was aired in commemoration of the 77th anniversary of the June 1944 Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during World War II, also known as D-Day.
Williams started the segment by describing D-Day, saying, Over 150,000 men invading the French coastline under withering German fire to begin their march across Europe where they would go on to win WWII 336 days later.
Williams then pitched to the Lincoln Project video, which began, Who is Antifa? They stormed the beaches of Normandy, parachuted into the French countryside and gave their lives to face down and fight back against fascism.
They took down Nazi machine gun nests, tore apart the Third Reichs strongholds, liberated concentration camps, liberated France, Italy, Belgium, Holland, the montage continued.
Anywhere Antifa saw fascism, they fearlessly and relentlessly annihilated it. Fascism was defeated because of patriots like these, proud Americans who knew that the fight against fascists was not simply a battle between opposing nations, it was a war against inhumanity, a war that isnt nice but cannot be lost, a war we still fight today.
Without a hint of irony, the video being aired on MSNBC ended by stating, Antifascism, its not a cable news talking point, its an American ideal that should be memorialized because it was paid for in blood.
Equating a domestic terror group with some of the countrys most highly regarded veterans is a new low, even for MSNBC.
